> After all, doesn't the free market offer exactly what is demanded? You should be able to get pants with bigger pockets at H&M. My girlfriend buys her jeans there.

Have you looked? Because every single one of my girlfriend's jeans has regular pockets. You should be able to find them easily in stores like H&M.

> if the user is looking for skinny jeans with larger pocket Have you worn skinny jeans for males? The pockets are horrendous as well.

Not WW2 but life in East Germany, which many people remember all too well.

The good thing is that prices (in stores) are set in the store. The labels are most likely little e-ink displays. There's absolutely no reason to not show the final price there aside from wanting the advertised price to be lower than i

Absolutely hilarious that - in an article talking about disinformation - they make the 100% wrong claim that the video is somehow misleading. It exists and the contents are absolutely clear. Claiming that the video is misleading is 100% dis

Yes, let the mob decide. Frontier justice is clearly the way to go because the current system has flaws.

I don't think that's true. Signify designs in the Netherlands and they have their own production facilities in various countries.

I'm not sure if HN is the right place for this discussion, but is this the 15,000th article about how, yes, said discrimination is happening but should just be accepted. Well yes, yes it is.

There's coal, gas and nuclear for the base load. Nuclear went away and gas got too expensive. What replaced it if not coal?

by snehk 3y ago
Germany literally shut down working reactors knowing that the power would have to be replaced with coal. That was known.

Didn't Germany just make a law that will cost 50 billion Euro and will - in the span of six years - save the CO2 that China puts out in a day. Brilliant decision. Germany could shut down everything tomorrow and it wouldn't make a

They don't do climate protests. They harass people and destroy property. Next time I break the law I'll just say I did it in the name of human rights and then complain when I don't get to do whatever I want.

I've wondered about this as well. I can't use Discord. I'm in my mid 30s and I feel like an 85 year old man using that software. It feels absolutely overwhelming and bloated.

"Any view I don't like is far right". Unless it's posted by someone online. Then it's a Russian Bot... or something.

Do the updates still take forever on new hardware? I have a M1 MacMini and it feels like every update takes like three hours.

This doesn't make any sense whatsoever. You want the government to decide what you can and cannot put into your body?

Because what Germany is currently doing is working out so well. Looking at the emissions, Germany is an absolute clown show. But you can always bet on one thing: The politicians who _now_ make the wrong decisions will blame the bad outcome

Yes. Bank transfers aren't really a thing in the US. To send money to a friend you have to use a third party service like PayPal, Venmo or CashApp.
